An intervention. Scott Snyder has been saying how the series is against the Lone Wolf image of the superhero, and more focused on the village that surrounds him.

And what if this is the moment they turn on him, with the greatest weapon of all, their friendship? It has been noted that the intervention, even when driven by love and care, can feel like the most aggressive act of betrayal. Is this how the Absolute Joker takes down the Absolute Batman? Not through punching, kicking and killing, but through misguided, misplaced love? And if Bruce Wayne rejects this help, he suddenly looks like the paranoid, violent madman, rather than Jack Grimm.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mlpnk72yciwc.i.optimole.com\/cqhiHLc.IIZS~2ef73\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:75\/https:\/\/bleedingcool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/ab-2.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-opt-src=\"https:\/\/mlpnk72yciwc.i.optimole.com\/cqhiHLc.IIZS~2ef73\/w:600\/h:923\/q:75\/https:\/\/bleedingcool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/ab-2.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-2517212 size-full\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20600%20923%22%20width%3D%22600%22%20height%3D%22923%22%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"An Absolute Intervention In Absolute Batman #25 Spoilers\" width=\"600\" height=\"923\"\/><\/a>Absolute Batman #25 by Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta<\/p>\n<p>Just like that.
